Suvretta House crowned Best Ski Hotel across three Alpine nations

Suvretta House has received the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Award for Best Ski Hotel in Switzerland, Austria and Germany in 2026, a recognition that speaks to the resort’s enduring command of alpine hospitality at its most refined. The honour arrives as the legendary property prepares to welcome guests for the winter season from 4th December 2026.

Positioned on the slopes above St Moritz, Suvretta House commands a particular mastery of the mountain experience. The Belle Époque palazzo, with its distinctive terracotta roof and cream coloured façade, sits sentinel over snow blanketed forests and pristine terrain, its architectural presence as assured as the service within. The estate has long drawn those who understand that serious skiing demands serious comfort: rooms appointed with thoughtful detail, dining calibrated to mountain appetite, and the kind of landscape that justifies the journey itself.

The award reflects the preferences of Condé Nast Traveller’s readership across three nations, a reach that underscores the hotel’s position not merely as a regional fixture but as a destination of genuine consequence for those who regard the Alpine winter as a necessary pilgrimage. Esther and Peter Egli, who oversee the property alongside its team, have stewarded a tradition that marries the formality of old European hospitality with the immediacy and energy of contemporary alpine culture.

The recognition arrives as the resort gears up for a season that begins in early December, when the mountains settle into their most dramatic mood and the ritual of the winter exodus to St Moritz recommences with its customary elegance.
